Taiwan’s Identity: Time to Drop Mandarin?

This little Korean cutie speaks Taiwanese mando almost like a Taiwanese girl

Be cool if she learned Taiwanese though
Probably be even more of a celebrity in Taiwan

I’m sure she learned mando in Taiwan so she has all mannerisms of a tw girl

Where you learn a language is going to affect your accents and mannerisms for sure

She is making such a good effort to speak mando
Her vocab is better than mine

No need to be 50 plus… maybe like 40 plus…

I wasn’t sure I was thinking maybe 60 plus :love_you_gesture:

The sad thing is we are now further away from 酒矸倘賣無 release in 1983 than we were to the release of Hound Dog back when we were in the 80s.

That’s a great summation. I’ve always been a little confused about that subject, especially because I think I’ve seen brief scenes from a movie that was somehow related to that song.

Your question, “How is it that I still know duck all about Taiwan after all these years?” fits me perfectly. I know this is going to sound corny, but I think that once when some of my students were talking about how small Taiwan is, I told them about a movie I saw (or I thought I saw) when I was a kid, a movie that depicted a magical house, which looked very small on the outside, but which became huge once a person entered it.

Now I’ll have to go back upthread and look for @tommy525’s “butt-shaking rendition :laughing:.”
